Just was a responsive host online and seemed pretty laid back. However, as soon as my boyfriend and I stepped into his studio apartment, we were hit with the smell of dirty laundry/sweaty clothes/gym locker room/college dorm room...you get the idea. While the apartment was organized, the smell was absolutely unbearable. He also left his dirty laundry in a hamper next to the door and piles of clothes hung on his door. When I pulled back the duvet of the bed we would be using, there were strands of hair all over his bed. Furthermore, on the day of our arrival Justin informed me that he was storing a friend's sauna at his place, which would've been fine except for the fact that it probably contributed to the bad smell too. We couldn't even stand to stay there for more than 20 min and ended up stressing the rest of the night to find a new place. Justin had been fast in responding the entire time, but when I expressed that I would like a refund because we didn't end up staying at his place he was unresponsive all of a sudden. While the neighborhood was cute and houses in the area were nice, Justin and his apartment simply are not suitable and clean enough to host people. Quite disappointing since he seemed to have gotten good reviews on Airbnb; however, on a 2nd look, I noticed that none of the other reviews talked about whether the place was clean or not. I would give no stars if it was possible; I definitely would NOT recommend booking this studio!

Justin odgovara:

Elaine has made claims about bad smells and strands of hairs on the bed that are not true and are inconsistent with my reviews. My place is always clean and properly prepared for guests and that can be seen in my 8 positive reviews. Elaine has 0 reviews (excluding mine which was written before I knew of these claims) which gives her no credibility on the airbnb platform. Elaine texted me about parking and wifi prior to showing up but did not text me about the issues she has written or choosing not to stay at my place. Since I was out of town and did not receive a text message about the issues, leaves me to believe that Elaine could of stayed at my place and created a false cancellation/negative review to avoid paying the rental fee. I definitely would NOT recommend renting to Elaine

Justin's place was perfect for our purposes. Great neighborhood with easy access to public transportation. He gave simple instructions for checking in and was flexible with check in/out times. The description is accurate. It's small, which was fine as we planned to be outside the place for the most part.
